CONCLUSION: In patients whose active RA persists despite treatment with MTX, KER in combination with MTX is safe and well tolerated and provides clinical and economic benefits. Furthermore, pretreatment serum levels of aCCP are a useful predictor of a good response to KER treatment, and a decrease in serum levels of aCCP may be an adjunctive indicator in predicting the efficacy of this kind oftreatment.
